Mark Thomas has been touring the country for months getting audiences to come up with policies aimed at sorting out the countrys political chaos & taking back the power for the people. Sick to death of bailing out bankers & subsidising MPs homes the audience vote on the best policy of the night to be included in the brand new Peoples Manifesto.
